"I subshitted" didn't get the laugh it deserves

Michael Graham Abernathy

Caldwell, it's ok! You didn't mix up Sting and Phil Collins, you just mixed up Tarzan and The Emperor's New Groove!

Amanda Marie

Justice for the shy player. The justices have been LA pilled and are way too used to 9s and 10s

Brandon Hinds

I'm 18 months late to this, but the picture of the hot NPC isn't even that hot, especially in the range of hot fantasy images. That player is absolutely insane.

Mike C.

Baseball has bat boys AND ball boys Lol

Mary H.

Jake! I watched Fire Island and it was so good! Tell Jill we said congrats for us!

Do it! *insert Palpatine meme*

Calvin Tran

I just watched Fire Island yesterday and it was very good. I definitely teared up a few times! Thank you Jill for your part in making this film!

Allie Gowins

Can we get a picture of the hot NPCs? 🤣

Summer Tribe

I don't understand this arrow thing. There are fletching rules in Xanathar's and rules for recovering arrows in the PHB and they're both reasonably forgiving. Half back if you search the area after a fight and if you have woodcarving tools and proficiency: Craft Arrows. As part of a short rest, you can craft up to five arrows. As part of a long rest, you can craft up to twenty. You must have enough wood on hand to produce them. DnD isn't super well suited to survival campaigns and if you're trying to run one surely you have these kinds of rules on hand

I’m siding with microbiology here, a fighter also wouldn’t have an inborn knowledge about magic - why would it be crazy for them to not know what germs are when bacteria wasn’t even discovered until like the 1700s. I don’t think that makes the players who don’t know about microbes stupid

Nathanael Watkins

i feel like a should add a note that this is a joke haha, reading it again it seemed like it could be actual criticism

Nathanael Watkins

I’ve just made it to the Dice Christ Confessions and I’m gonna be disappointed if there’s not a single Final Destination joke

Debra Wasson

If it’s your typical DnD setting. Why would people in a high fantasy setting know about germs? Germ theory wasn’t a thing until the late 1800s. I mean consider how many people in our modern world don’t know the difference between a bacteria or a virus. And in fantasy settings certain characters have specialized knowledge all the time. Just because I know how to pitch a tent doesn’t mean my sheltered halfling wizard does. But I’m not here to wine about it making me a dumb A because the ranger does know. It makes since that a specialist in organic life (a druid) could have a theory that there are tiny creatures no one can see that control who lives and who dies.

Jason Langshaw

Yeah I'm also gonna go with microbiology sounds like an awesome backstory. There's so much to play with here that could be super fun. What if there's a twist that... in their fantasy world bacteria turn out to actually not even be real!! What if it's something else entirely! Could be a huge and fun plot point and character moment for the PC, while also not reinforcing the vibe that "they're super genius and everyone else in the party is a moron"

Zoe Jones

The hot npc discourse reminded me of Game to Grow, which gives therapists a certification to use dnd for their clients as a therapy method

Caitlyn Dill

I can't abide by the *idea* of a person too intimidated to talk to a hot NPC.

Zalyni

“You have to fall in love with the feeling of being thrown off, and finding your feet again. Because that’s truly all that life is.” why tf is dungeon court making me cry???

Tales O'Brien

*time devil

William Bowen

Jake works out and has good genes, and it shows. I'd let him buy me a beer.

JoWade

Rolling with someone that has diarrhea ... Murph, please .... I had someone fart in my face in a north south position.... Ewwwww

MrMach6

Devils are fiends, this team naming sets up a false dichotomy

Error

Team devil

Joshuawbr29

Jake is a good looking dude, not going to lie.

Max Cooper

I just wanna join the chorus of saying support for the microbio and it feels like you justified taking their backstory in the worst possible faith as razzing when it was just kinda rude

Seth Anderson-Lind

I legit paused at the mention of Tarzan to listen to a great Tarzan medley acapella arrangement I like, and it felt so right hearing Jake sing a piece of Son of Man because it makes me think of Nyack

Iris Dewey

Microbiology pc was robbed. Honestly, they sound so fun to play with and there’s so many places that it can go besides disease. Robbed!

Patrick Sullivan

Emily screaming at an HP boy would be the best skit

Emily

I agree with Caldwell; you don’t exit out of kingdom hearts because Riku suddenly appears. No you wait to see if you’re gonna ally up or smack him up with a key blade.

Emily

Fun fact! I’m currently writing a campaign where yes astrology is real but in terms of the elements. For example, if you’re in Aries country, everything is a desert and it’s scorching hot. If you’re born under a fire sign, you thrive, and then depending on your sign and element, you either thrive, feel neutral or hate it. Theres more but if anyone wants to play let me know.

Noah James Perito

“this person was kind of just being like a little dweeb, right?” Gut punch of humor

Grant Klein

Jujutsu Kaisen is very cool

Garga Lenoir

Fantasy worlds usually have magic, so if germs existed wizards would have located them.

Garga Lenoir

If I was the GM I would have him discover that bacteria is old folk's tale, and the scientific truth is tiny fairies fighting to make people sick or cure them.

Garga Lenoir

It's not a shift, they just do it once a month to leave some time for Murph to breathe.

Garga Lenoir

So, Jake : Too cool, or WAY too cool?

Allan Levy

As much as I love D&D Court, I love Bahumia more. Does anyone know why there's been a shift towards more court sessions lately? Is it temporary while the Boobs tour or Murph plans sessions, or is it a more permanent change?

Oppa SJ Style

Lol that’s a funny coincidence! My players were fighting a pirate captain possessed by a Ruby artifact of Tiamat which could supposedly allow the holder to have one wish. However, it corrupts and possesses the holder and grants them some power and extra HP :)

Brady Moore

Thank you so much for putting a definitive end to my case! I screamed for joy that was awesome!

Kristen with-a-K

I do this with my players so that everyone has a common visual of what everyone else looks like. And, as I run primarily online games, I also use those same pics to create player tokens. The DMs for other games I play in have picked up this habit as well and have started asking for inspiration pics along with our backstories. So now we send character art, hometown art, weapon art, you name it. Pinterest is a gamer / DM gold mine.

Kristen with-a-K

Unless I was pre-coffee hallucinating, I believe the DM posted a link earlier in the comments.

Evelyn Carsten

Totally with the microbiologist player. It's basically a science paladin preaching about tiny creatures instead of all-powerful gods

Magestain

If you can't handle me at my dragon dicks and pussies, then you don't deserve me at my bullying and gaslighting my fanbanse. 👌

Nesve Fowl

Yes I need to see that picture!

Shane C

Can we please see the hot NPC???

Gotteswaise

The absolute tease of the hotness of this NPC and no link

Cliff

Is it ironic that they were favorable to DMs and Jake, the only one who hasnt DMed on the podcast?

Valaree Machen

I am currently DMing an astrology forward campaign arc and it is very fun. Also as far as NPCs go, artwork is typically more attractive than realistic, but I do try to make an effort to pick diverse characters (in looks, scarring, races, gender, etc). It’s an extra effort but appreciated by the party.

Psykodactyle

People in medieval times washed themselves even though they didn't know about bacteria and viruses. They thought disease came from bad smells so of course they'd want to keep themselves clean in order to not get sick. In fact most people bathed regularly. People can know that certain actions have consequences and effects without knowing why. So I think the player should be able to play a character who wants to find out/ prove the "why", with the other players still know what basic hygiene is, just not the fact that it's actually because there's tiny creatures that exist everywhere and can hijack your body's cells in order to reproduce or live in your stomach and help you digest your food etc. (It's not like medieval people didn't think digestion was real before they learned about bacteria) Team Bio fiends! This is a kangaroo court lol

melhubbs

i need a picture of the hot NPC!!!

Doug C.

Can you make an objection to a case that’s already had the verdict passed down?

Emma Margaret

One of my DMs maintains a Pinterest board for PCs and NPCs. She has us send her pins of what we want for our characters and a note for what part of the image is for our characters. So like, an outfit or accessory, or the hair, etc... Itks fun because if we ever had art done of our characters and NPCs, we have a board full of reference material that's more than "she's an aasimar bard with an ocarina" Highly recommend using Pinterest in your games.

Lorelei The Succubi and Kyra The succulent snack

An invitation to any patron or to my Best friend that put a 69 on a football wizard for me, Jake! My Epic games name is Draco Revival and I'd (both me and my fiance) would love to play with anyone, hop on our backs or just chill and talk.

Jack Farley

We need the link to the hot npc Pinterest lol

Izzy R

Episodes that make you understand the lyrics to one week a bit better

Morti Kvisvik

I am against a positive Jake vibe

Shy-senpai

I am strongly in the side of the microbiologist fiend. I think in a fantasy setting it's not a stretch to say people don't understand the concept of germs. That wouldn't necessarily make them so stupid they'd never be clean but it would leave room for plot lines for this microbiologist to maybe fight a plague or discover the cause of death of an important NPC. Feels like the DM should have had the player's back a little bit here.

David Lipscomb

Just bought tickets for the Portland show! Can't wait to see y'all live

Hamish

Waaiitttt a minute… our party faced an aspect of Tiamat 3 sessions ago… 🤔😑 suspicious…

Cianistarle

The filters work pretty well for this. For me anyway!

Canid

Gaslighting Jake was great. But the microbiology plot could have worked if the world was pre-microscope. How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom eps 23 and 24 cover this idea well.

Mich Blackie

The real MVP 👍

JR Lonergan

The Glass Cannon Podcast Legacy of the Ancients show just mentioned Em and Hot Date on the episode that dropped at the same time as this! Just cool to hear Em get shouted out for her talent.

Leah S.

I think the microbiologist was about finding the truth about there being microbiology. Like, in the world they were wanting to prove it. Which honestly is a similar concept to having a world with no resurrection. We all know there are spells that bring people back to life, but not in that world. I think it could have been neat.

Daniel Soto

Loving the episode! I just had a thought and I was wondering if it's a thing: are there playlists in patreon? Because it would be AWESOME to have all of the Boobs, the Triplets, the Mavrus chronicles, and the Choo Choo Crew in ad-free playlists for the relisten. And to have the short rests in their own playlist too. Idk, this might not be the place to ask that but idk where else to post 😕

Victoria Oh

I was literally just watching the Ben Schwartz Jake + Amir episodes, and wow, the whiplash between Jake characters, LMAO

BertFromOhio

Objection! In the case of the Microbiologist I have to disagree with the decision. While the player may have stepped on toes with their choice of backstory, if the players had an issue they could have done better than immediately saying "no, we already know about this". I'm with the fiends lol

Kevin but keviner

8/10 rating on the sports references this episode. Great job they seemed mildly knowledgeable about bat boys and ball boys in tennis!

Declan Konesky

Jake. I have to say... I think you have the best tits. Definitely the best chesticles. I'm in Maine if that makes things make a kind of sense. And my wife when I brought it up to her said 'drinks are coming up." We're from Minneapolis.#minnesotanice

Wylie Whiteaker

bc they're touring

Aaron Burnell

Please! I'm trying to scan the submissions in order to find this super hot npc!

Adam Hylton

Woo-hoo indeed

Dax Motarex

Can we get a picture of this overly hot npc??

Steven H

I'm *crying laughing* I can't show this to my player they get so roasted.

Beef

How dare it be a positive bailiff ep

Steven H

when I know my question is in the ep just because of the title

foster the boneless duck

i already love how this is gonna go by the title

H-Train

“emily axford dreams of fortnite” sounds like the name of a japanese web novel that gets turned into an absolutely insufferable anime

Mirarreiro

why has every other episode been non canon content? I'm not upset I'm genuinely curious. I thought last week of the month was DND court/8bbb and the rest was the campaign. is it bc of live shows? I hope they're getting the rest they need
